Hello,
I have successfully set um an OpenBSD machine (amd64) in an Virtualbox using X
and KDE as desktop.
So far everything works fine, KDE is starting after boot.
tightvnc is installed.
However I cannot start vncserver.
<log>
The log file shows:
Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'

</log>
starting xhost from a Terminal within KDE as ordinary user shows:
<xhost>
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
<xhost>
environment variable DISPLAY is set to :0.0
xauth shows MIT_MAGIC_COOKIES_1 for localhost and the fqdn of the machine.
However, vncserver cannot connect.
Trying to call xhost within a ssh-shell (as ordinary user) also xhost cannot
connect to X, regardless what command line argument I use.
What the hell ist going wrong?
Thanks for any answers that can solve the problem.
Greetings
Harry
